The Van BurenVISITORS | CINEMATIC SCREENING
Paracosm Dance brings VISITORS back to Orpheum Theatre - Phoenix as a feature length film, translating its acclaimed stage work into a cinematic experience in a historic venue built for both stage and screen. Friends of the Orpheum Theatre presents a screening captured over two nights with thirteen cameras, drawing viewers close to a world shaped by indie horror video game influences and the daring spirit of dance theater. Alyssa Johnson’s two-act narrative unfolds through contemporary dance, capoeira, ballet, Lindy Hop, and physical theater, guiding audiences from rising unease to outright horror. The piece confronts anguish at the edges of indifference and considers the cost of standing on either side of a closed door. Paracosm Dance is a multimedia company that crafts temporary realities through vigorous movement, blending choreography, score, integrated design, and adventurous dramaturgy into layered experiences that fuse physicality and imagination. The work has earned praise from Dance Magazine editor Kyra Laubacher and from J. Nero-McArthur of BLL for its unsettling power, emotional intensity, and Johnson’s meticulous, fearless artistry.
